Anytime one is overweight you cause your body harm both internally and externally. Your overall health is at risk for many problems. As far as your feet, too much pressure is placed on your soles, giving you that feeling. Best lose weight for a better and healthy lifestyle.

If you spend a lot of time on your feet is it possible. Get tested for diabetes as this can do it and is common in those who are over weight. Did Dr do a fine filament test of how well you see on the bottoms of your feet. If not ask for one.
